A decade-long effort on Beaver Creek, Lake and Marsh has come to fruition! A long list of threatened species will benefit forever from the protection of this beautiful wetland system, which includes a lake, creek, marsh, waterfall and surrounding old-growth forest habitat.

Western Rivers Conservancy has conveyed the final 420 acres of the project to become part of the adjacent Olympic National Forest, providing protection for the entire lake and marsh. This most recent phase of land joins 213 acres that Western Rivers Conservancy protected in 1998.

Our thanks goes to everyone who made this project possible, including Congressman Norm Dicks, Senator Patty Murray, the Bullitt Foundation, Horizons Foundation and Wiancko Charitable Foundation.
